Description


Mound at Giecz, site of an important 10th-century Piast dynasty fort

Currently, Giecz is the site of ongoing excavations. There are two habitation phases being excavated at the same location. The first is a cemetery dated to the 10-11th century. The second, located just beneath the cemetery, is an earlier settlement. Features of this settlement include open earthen structures, hearths, storage pits, and rich culture layers.[2] Funding for these excavations is provided by the Slavia Foundation and the First Piasts Museum, Lednica.
